Dean, a ten-year-old girl, has just moved into this community. She suffered from heart disease and had undergone major surgery, which left a scar that both her parents hated. She hates the way of life of her parents and the indifferent and hypocritical atmosphere at home.
When she walked to the forest that day, curiosity walked into the forest. When she saw the RV, she imagined that there were scary monsters living in the forest, but she was not afraid, but walked into the RV with great interest.
Dean, who is usually aloof, prefers to play with the uncle who is not polite to her. Gradually, Chaen discovered that this little girl had so many similarities with herself: both had wandered on the lifeline; both liked the natural and simple life; both hated or feared the hypocritical and powerful world outside... and the story began like this In the community, he is a grass-cutting boy who is not valued or even discriminated against. She is a little girl with a withdrawn temperament and no friends. But in this forest they became friends.
Dean and Charn are undoubtedly different: his lawnmower ruthlessly crushed all the artificial things such as letters and toys, but stopped in front of a turtle and gave the turtle to her; she let him Decorate the big tree in front of his RV with red ribbons and tell him stories of horrible monsters by the campfire; they go to the chicken farm to steal chickens, and the chicken feathers are all over the car, they laugh happily; they drive the car Go to the lake, stand on the roof of the car and dance...
A series of short stories about the friendship between Charn and Dean were presented to the audience. These clips all happened during a beautiful summer day. The plot is simple, the rhythm is slow, and the emotions are delicate. So far, the film seems to be a "small and fresh" story about pure friendship, but if you look carefully, you will find that the inadvertent details are infused with the director's scrutiny and intentions-advocating nature and original heart Charn and Dean are incompatible with the civilization represented by the community. Before entering the forest, Dean took off his newly bought socks and shoes and hung them on the branches; Chaen stopped the car on the bridge, took off all his clothes naked and jumped into the water beautifully under the attention of the car behind; Di Eun climbed up the roof in the middle of the night and mooed softly at the moon; when Charn and Dean were dancing happily in the car, the police fishing on the lake cast their contemptuous glances at them; Dean wanted to pour a glass of water for Charn, her Her mother asked her to choose a cheap cup; the kid next door stole the lampshade and CD, but everyone suspected that it was Chaen.
Dean’s parents are the representative of the middle-class hypocrisy in the film. They are well-dressed on the surface, caring about their children, and always teach Dean how to "smile", "polite", and "please others." But when Dean clearly said "Burton touched my chest", his father was just stunned and said two words, "He is the governor's son. Please stay away from him." And the mother was there. She didn't say a word because she had an affair with Burton. And when Dean said that Charn had touched her physical scars, how angry, how excited, and how "loving a girl was" his father was. He called the police, chased Chaen's house, and used it frantically. Punch Chaen with a stick while saying "You will never be worthy of my daughter".
Their attitudes were all seen by Dean. When she found out that her mother was cheating, she walked out without saying a word, with an exaggerated mocking smile on her face; she immediately understood the meaning of the two sentences her father said about Burton, and said that Burton would be better off. Just joking with her, and then spit out the chewed steak on the plate, saying that she couldn't eat it anymore; and when she finally saw how her father treated Chaen, she firmly raised her gun and walked to In front of her father... It turns out that Dean has always understood how hypocritical her family and community are, so when she first saw Uncle Mowing, she understood the untainted nature of nature more deeply. .
Dean is still lonely and constrained in the repressive and hypocritical home, while Charn is still discriminated against and provoked in the community. The theme of the movie should be the story of these two "different" entire "normal" communities. Charn and Dean are dismissive of material things. They admire nature, nature, sincerity, and free joy, while the community does It is their opposite. They care about discipline, reputation, rank, and status, and these two opposites are destined to be incompatible. This is quite similar to Edward Scissorhands. The lonely and cold robot Edward actually has a warm heart, while those normal people of all kinds live a life of hypocrisy and walking dead. Charn and Dean stand on opposite sides of society. They represent the philosophy of nature, and that society represents the philosophy of civilization. In this film, the director's criticism of civilization philosophy is merciless, and the conflict between naturalism and civilization's attention has laid the groundwork for the rest of the article. However, all of this happened in that quiet and peaceful environment, and the protagonist was a delicate and dexterous girl and a kind and patient boy. These beautiful intentions caused the conflict to seem not very intense, and might even be ignored by the audience.
The highlight of the movie is the ending, which is really memorable as the finishing touch. In the plot twists and turns, Charn and Dean had the first contradiction. Dean ran home with tears on his face because he misunderstood him killing the dog, and accidentally killed Charn. This was the first accident; Dean His father aggressively called the police and the owner of the dog, and asked Dean to show the way to Chaen's house, and vomit blood from Chaen's mouth, and the owner who called the dog came to beat him. This was the second twist; Suddenly a gunshot sounded, and the owner of the dog who was about to swing his stick fell into a pool of blood. The person holding the gun turned out to be Dean. This was the third twist. The movie that had been slow and long before suddenly made all the audience nervous here. But in fact, the collision between naturalism and civilizationalism has been fully foreshadowed before.
In addition to the tense plot, the torrent of emotions also plummeted at the end: Charn ran away at Dean's request. Before leaving, Dean stroked Charn's face with both hands, and Charn remembered that Dean. The unfinished fairy tale, "What's the ending?" Chaen asked. "The little girl finally returned home." "Home, where is it?" "Home, in my hands." Dean had already burst into tears at this time, and as an audience, I couldn't help crying. They have always been just playmates, but they are like-minded playmates. But now the colorful clouds will disperse and the colored glaze is broken. Finally, in the ending movie, the color of fairy tales and imagination was used. Dean used a gun to force his father to lift him up to the big tree covered with red ribbons, and watched Charn use the magic comb Dean gave him to generate forests and oceans, blocking them. To chase soldiers, escape forever, never come back again. In the last shot, from the bottom up, Dean is sitting on a tree. The big tree and Dean are shining with gold, perhaps the sun is shining, and it is more likely to be magical. Look at the flying red ribbon, just like the flow in the fairy tale world. Yi.
The plot in the first part of the film is a bit plain, but when you see the end, you feel that the plot in front cannot be deleted every minute. All those tepid people want to grow in your heart like soil, the tears that the girl shed when "home is in my hands" are the spring rain that nourishes the soil; the extreme sunshine at the last moment is in your heart Xiaoya broke through the ground. This movie is like a fairy tale, like "Daughter of the Sea", and like "The Nightingale and the Rose"
